John Reis / Rick Froberg Interview

[WolfataDoor]

ANOTHER DRIVE LIKE JEHU ALBUM PLEASE

[sunchild90]

i wish that gig was on youtube

[LazyTriangle]

"let's be honest, people who come to see Rocket From the Crypt are white people... Unfortunately" LOL

[horsedoctorman]

good explanation of why hot snakes are better than drive like jehu!

[JamesIsMyNamo]

Hot Snakes is the closest thing to DLJ there's been. I see what John's saying, it's so similar but somehow different.

[GANGSTAsizeZAK]

Awesome fucking upload dood.

[justdoitasshole]

Awesome....thanks for posting.

Would a new DLJ album be rad or what?

[shaolinkin]

does anyone know what the closing song is?

[sunchild90]

@shaolinkin it's near the end of super unison

[atomjack]

Very nice! Seeing that short bit of rocket really makes me miss seeing them (saw them 13 times in 2001).

[mouthmasher]

This is such a rad-a** chunk of an interview. So glad this exists and was posted. Thank you.

[TheTVPpl]

This is great, and obviously has good production values. What is it from?

Love Jehu and Hot Snakes, the former much more than the latter. Nothing can beat the DLJ ST. Reis and Froberg are whom Bixler and Rodriguez wish they could emulate.

[kentuckychromedesign]

May have been filmed at Michigan Fest, too?

[wisterV]

"Downstroke Warlords",

classic!

[JorealConners]

Nice! I saw Froberg at the Drunken Unicorn in Atlanta with Obits. I waited around the back while they did their sound session, and got to speak with him for awhile. He even signed my copy of Audit in Progress.

That man has an absolutely beautiful, amazing voice. I'm so happy Reis remembered him from DLJ so they could carry over to HS. I highly recommend buying the albums over downloads. You can buy direct from swamirecords, though they only have AIP and the Peel Sessions left. eBay works too.

amazing how the best band in the world of all time ( talent ) can be so unkown

[007yaknow]

@ausfoolia1111 Pitckfork?

[wickedceltics]

Thanks for posing this! Amazing.

[Rolfragnar]

what song is the last one? from 4.48 and to the end??

[BarryLegg]

'Super Unison' by Drive Like Jehu. It's on the album 'Yank Crime'.

[mattjameskendall]

What a hell of a song it is, too. Just epic. My favorite DLJ song.

[Rolfragnar]

what song is the last one

[veerocks]

Dude, that's so awesome! Froberg.

[TheFlyingBomb]

The interview segments look like they may have been shot outside the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. Just saying.
